References from our workers

Irina K. (field of work – camping cleaning, 2019): I went to work to Denmark, knowing only the basics of English. It is much easier for me to understand what others are talking about than to speak myself, but when I was working in the campsites I didn’t talk much and I didn’t need to, I really had enough basics. I came back from Denmark knowing Danish terms, so I think those who stay longer to work really have the opportunity to practice foreign languages. I was satisfied with the job itself – like many, I went abroad to earn money, and I did. I am glad that everything can be organized very quickly through recruitment agencies.

Julija S. (field of work – work in a greenhouse, 2019): I worked in a greenhouse – I did packing and planting. I went abroad to work with my husband, and when I arrived, we got to know other Lithuanians – some of them had been working there for more than a year. There is no need for language in this field of work, in fact, we did not know much, and other Lithuanians showed what was needed at work. We worked for about 3 months; in our free time we traveled a bit in Denmark. We really enjoyed the country and the people themselves are really friendly, so we are considering coming back next year.
